Chapter One Hundred and Sixty One

A party?I might not be good at handling situations like these, but I didn't think throwing a party was the way to go about it."A party?" Axel questioned, asking the exact question that had been on my mind. I was glad to see that I wasn't the only one who saw this as strange."Yes, a party," Thane responded."Alpha, I mean no disrespect but have you gone nuts?" Axel questioned"Offense taken. I would prefer it if you could start up the preparations.""That isn't a wise choice; a party is the last thing we need. I am your beta, and I have every right to advise you if you go wrong, and this is very wrong.""Perhaps you should have considered this when you decided to keep Beatrix's deeds secret."Axel was immediately silenced."Stop this now, the both of you. Thane, I had asked Axel—begged him to keep that a secret. Are you telling me you wouldn't do the same?" I questioned, but he gave no answer. I spoke on, "A party is not a wise choice, but if you have other reasons behind this then

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Two

Thane lay beside me, seemingly satisfied by watching me."You know you need to sleep; you didn't get any last night." I advised, though I did love his gaze on me, it made me feel… special."I can't waste this time I have to spend with you; every second is worth treasuring," he says, but I felt the sadness in his voice. I shrugged it off because I was always that paranoid.~~~~~~There were so many rumors about the party, literally everyone believed there was going to be some kind of big news, how disappointed they would be. Other pack members had been invited, and according to Axel, the party would be packed up with people from all over the world. It was strange that people could leave their homes just for a one-night party.I picked out an elegant, silver shimmering dress; sparkling beads decorated the neckline, the dress was simply breathtakingly beautiful. I had been patiently waiting for the day I would wear the dress, and I felt like this was the day. Honesty speaking, I felt li

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Three

There were gasps from every corner of the hall."The woman standing before you was not chosen by the moon goddess but by me. I had chosen her because I thought she complimented me, but I was wrong," he says, turning to me, a sick smirk on his face, and I... I was silenced by the shock I felt. "She is nothing like a queen should be, and I had made a mistake. A mistake I would correct tonight."Thane's smirk widened to a smile."From today, Riley Kaidon seizes to be my Luna and Queen."Ryker had left my heart bruised, but Thane had mended it up only to rip it apart, over and over and again.I felt like the wind had been zapped right out of me as the tears streamed down my eyes.Thane wasn't moved by my tears; he never was, and he never would be.‘He made me love him, he made me fall for his petty lies, he made me hope, and then he shattered the glimmer of hope, leaving me a shell of the person I once was.’ My mother had explained to me how Slade had broken her, and right before my eyes,

Thane passed me a piece of paper."What is this?""A cheque""I don't want it.""Riley, please don't make this hard.""No. I will not leave this place; I refuse to.""You will""Or what, would you make me?"Thane gave no response, but I could see it clearly in his eyes; this was actually happening; he was going to throw me out if he had to."I hope it doesn't come to that," he says.I rose, walking towards him. "You know what? I don't believe you.""This is as real as reality gets; you are getting your pay and you are going to leave; if you attempt to return back to this pack, you would be seen and treated like an intruder," Thane said; he didn't flinch —not once. With each word he uttered, my heart, which I thought was already broken, shattered even more."I gave you my body; I gave you my heart; what didn't I give?" I questioned, tears streaming down my eyes; his gaze shifted, and I thought I saw something change in those eyes; I was wrong, they were just… empty."It is not my fault

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Five

Is this how painless death felt like?Regret. That was the first emotion I felt, and then I forced my eyes open.I stare at the gun in my hands.I wasn't dead.It hadn't been Thane sweeping in to save me this time; the gun was out of bullets.I tossed the gun away with shaky hands. What the hell was wrong with me?I had wanted to give up; just like that, I could have died. If that gun did contain silver bullets, those bullets would have gone through my skull, and then that would be the end.I had given up.Ryker had put me through hell and back, never once did I stop fighting, but with Thane I had given up, all for what? For a man that didn't see my worth?Something changed in me that instant. I rose from the bare ground and resumed packing. I had once thought about how expensive the jewelry Thane bought for me would be. I would find out soon because I was going to take each and everyone of them. I wiped my tears before walking out of my room. Thane waited outside, leaning against the

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Six

**THANE'S POV**I had never viewed myself as a good person. Never. Right and wrong were just two words to me. Riley brought out a part of me even I hadn't realized existed. She was the best thing that happened to me, but I never did deserve her. I knew that, yet I wanted her.I should have done the right thing a long time ago; I should have let her go the very first time I lost control, but selfishly, I didn't. It only got worse. I hurt her once again; we had been alone in the woods; gods, I could have killed her. I had never hated myself more; I had spent two days in the woods because I couldn't bear to see her in the pain I'd inflicted, but there I made a decision: I had to let her go. I had promised myself that this time I wouldn't let myself be weak; I was going to do what was right, but then I saw her.It felt like I was seeing her all over for the very first time; she had been so happy to see me. I didn't deserve her love, and yet I wanted it so desperately. I tried to say those

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Seven

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Axel asked, and he was mad. I felt it in the bond we shared; I saw it in his eyes too."I am doing the right thing."He inhaled sharply; he knew I was right, yet he didn't like this, not one bit. "You had to do that before all those people?" he questioned, even though he already knew why I had done that too."She would be safer this way.""You can't let her go; we can't—you would go in there and tell her it was all some kind of expensive joke, and you've changed your mind."When Axel was mad, he seemed to forget who the Alpha was and where his place was, but I let it slide; he had the right to be angry."Axel, listen to me. She is no longer safe here; there are many who want to hurt her to get to me — some of them are in this pack; You know that if there was any other way, I would have chosen that.""And do you think there wouldn't be others out there who want her dead too? She can't be on her own," he says, and he might be right."She manag

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Eight

It all felt like some kind of sick dream."Ma'am, please, where would you like to go?" The driver asked; he had already taken us far past the pack borders. I had nowhere to go.I turned to my mother. "A few more meters to your left," she said to the driver, who nodded, following her command. I didn't know much about places, but wasn't that part inhabited by... humans?I didn't ask any questions; I let her decide. I felt completely numb.After what felt like hours, the car came to a stop, and my mother helped me out. We took out the luggages."Goodbye, Luna," the driver said, and I nodded, unable to form any words.He drove off.This was real; this was happening; I might never see Thane ever again."Where are we?" I asked my mother"Just come with me," she said.The streets had been empty of people, but after a few minutes of walking, I spotted some humans; many of them watched us.The thing is that we could look very much like humans but still stand out; there was something about we

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Nine

One month later. It is strange how time flies. The hours turned into days, days into weeks, and a month had gone by. Not a single day did I stop thinking about Thane and Axel; not a single day had I stopped crying. I was a mess. I thought I could heal from this pain, but I couldn't. Once, I dreamt they came for me; oh, how real the dream felt, and then I awoke, and here I was, in the Raven Clan. They say time should heal all wounds, but even time couldn't heal this. I woke up with a start. It had been another dream about Thane. Another dream that felt too real. I sobbed silently. I had been here for a whole month and I had never left the room. I was a shell of the person I one was. I should fight this. Thane might be out there, with another woman standing in my place, and I would remain here, a total mess. I deserved better, yet I couldn't find the strength to walk out of that door and meet new people. My mother walked in, a tray in her hands; she didn't bother looking

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy

Dinner was nothing like I expected.Back in the Nightshade pack, meals were a subdued affair — there could be a few occasional chatters but nothing as loud and carefree as this. It was the complete opposite here.Nick joked and laughed with everyone; the table was so loud and strangely comforting, but what was even more comforting was the fact that there weren't people staring creepingly at me. Sure, a few glanced, but not with the curiosity members at the Nightshade Pack did."Does she speak?" one of the men asked, referring to me."Yes, I speak," I answered, and many paused their chattering."She does speak," another said out loud, seemingly surprised."You thought I was... mute?"Many nodded, and for some reason that was funny. My mother had a smile on her face too; that's the most I had said the whole month. I did feel comfortable here, these people... there was something about them; maybe it was how welcoming they were or how very carefree and relaxed everyone was. Damn, even th
